00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.651
Hello, welcome to another video of the

00:00:02.652 --> 00:00:04.472
Linear Animation Workflow Tutorials.

00:00:04.940 --> 00:00:06.759
On this video, I'm going to start diving

00:00:06.760 --> 00:00:08.372
into the Graph Editor Basics.

00:00:09.360 --> 00:00:11.283
The Graph Editor works pretty much

00:00:11.284 --> 00:00:13.259
the same way as in any other animation software,

00:00:14.456 --> 00:00:15.860
with the main difference being

00:00:16.328 --> 00:00:18.199
the way the visibility works

00:00:18.200 --> 00:00:20.072
and the ability to add modifiers.

00:00:20.852 --> 00:00:23.296
First, Graph Visibility.

00:00:23.972 --> 00:00:26.051
The way the Visibility works

00:00:26.052 --> 00:00:28.755
in the Blender Graph Editor is really simple.

00:00:28.756 --> 00:00:30.160
You have two different ones,

00:00:31.096 --> 00:00:32.084
you have Selection

00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:35.828
and Visibility.

00:00:38.272 --> 00:00:41.340
Our curve can be selected,

00:00:43.160 --> 00:00:44.200
but not visible.

00:00:45.760 --> 00:00:48.359
You can control the visibility

00:00:48.360 --> 00:00:49.400
by using the I icon,

00:00:54.184 --> 00:00:55.952
or just using shortcuts.

00:00:56.628 --> 00:00:59.071
You can select either the F Curve list

00:00:59.072 --> 00:01:01.359
or in the Graph Editor.

00:01:01.360 --> 00:01:03.595
So for example, I can also select the curve

00:01:03.596 --> 00:01:03.960
over here.

00:01:07.600 --> 00:01:10.772
Some of the shortcuts we use are H

00:01:11.916 --> 00:01:15.400
to hide,  Alt H to unhide everything.

00:01:16.596 --> 00:01:19.715
And then Shift H to unhide everything

00:01:19.716 --> 00:01:21.900
except for what selected.

00:01:25.384 --> 00:01:27.984
The same applies for the F Curve list.

00:01:28.452 --> 00:01:29.960
So I can also do it here.

00:01:37.916 --> 00:01:39.995
As in any other software,

00:01:39.996 --> 00:01:41.660
there is different types of F Curve.

00:01:42.440 --> 00:01:44.155
You can access the menu to change

00:01:44.156 --> 00:01:46.028
the type by pressing the letter T.

00:01:47.016 --> 00:01:48.939
Here is the menu to change

00:01:48.940 --> 00:01:49.928
the Keyframe Interpolation.

00:01:50.552 --> 00:01:52.995
The types we mainly use are these three,

00:01:52.996 --> 00:01:55.284
Constant, Linear, and Bezier.

00:01:56.272 --> 00:01:59.183
With Constant, also known as step, means

00:01:59.184 --> 00:02:01.159
there is no interpolation between the two keys.

00:02:02.772 --> 00:02:04.851
With Linear, the interpolation will change

00:02:04.852 --> 00:02:07.451
to linear interpolation between the keys.

00:02:10.728 --> 00:02:13.640
With Bezier, as known as a spline,

00:02:13.900 --> 00:02:16.083
it will change to a smooth interpolation

00:02:16.084 --> 00:02:16.916
between the keys.

00:02:19.152 --> 00:02:21.595
Also, you can change the Tangent type.

00:02:21.596 --> 00:02:23.727
You can access the Tangent type menu

00:02:23.728 --> 00:02:26.171
by pressing the letter V, or going into

00:02:26.172 --> 00:02:28.615
the Key menu on the top left corner.

00:02:28.616 --> 00:02:29.500
So I press V,

00:02:30.228 --> 00:02:32.828
I will get the set Keyframes Handle Type,

00:02:33.660 --> 00:02:36.052
or I can also go into Key,

00:02:37.456 --> 00:02:39.899
Handle Type, and here you have also

00:02:39.900 --> 00:02:40.940
same options.

00:02:41.460 --> 00:02:43.540
The different Tangent types are,

00:02:45.152 --> 00:02:47.751
Auto Clamp. With Auto Clamp,

00:02:47.752 --> 00:02:49.883
we have automatic handles that create

00:02:49.884 --> 00:02:50.300
a smooth curve,

00:02:50.716 --> 00:02:52.951
that only will change direction at frames.

00:02:52.952 --> 00:02:55.915
This means that if two keys have same values,

00:02:55.916 --> 00:02:58.515
the curve will be straight between those keys.

00:03:00.700 --> 00:03:02.572
This is the one we use the most.

00:03:03.872 --> 00:03:06.471
Then we have Automatic,

00:03:06.472 --> 00:03:07.356
will create a smooth curve.

00:03:09.072 --> 00:03:11.515
But as you can see, if two keys have the same values,

00:03:11.516 --> 00:03:13.855
it doesn't keep a straight line between them.

00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:18.016
Then we have Vector,

00:03:20.356 --> 00:03:22.695
that gives you the ability

00:03:22.696 --> 00:03:23.684
to create straight lines,

00:03:24.152 --> 00:03:26.439
meaning that you can control each standing instruction

00:03:26.440 --> 00:03:27.740
individually.

00:03:33.616 --> 00:03:34.916
Then we have Aligned,

00:03:37.828 --> 00:03:39.959
in which the hand rotation is locked

00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:40.740
to its spur.

00:03:42.872 --> 00:03:44.900
And last we have Free Tangent,

00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:51.660
in which each handle becomes independent.

00:03:56.184 --> 00:03:58.159
And the last topic for this video

00:03:58.160 --> 00:04:00.655
is going to be what these three icons

00:04:00.656 --> 00:04:01.384
over here do.

00:04:02.216 --> 00:04:03.984
The first one, the Range.

00:04:04.452 --> 00:04:06.740
With it, you can activate or deactivate

00:04:06.896 --> 00:04:08.300
and modify the curves.

00:04:08.872 --> 00:04:11.159
I'll explain more about modifiers

00:04:11.160 --> 00:04:12.928
in the next Graph Editor video.

00:04:14.072 --> 00:04:15.528
Then we have the Box.

00:04:15.996 --> 00:04:18.699
The Box is used to mute or unmute

00:04:18.700 --> 00:04:21.300
the curves in the box. So now if I do this,

00:04:22.184 --> 00:04:24.628
the cube will not move in X.

00:04:25.460 --> 00:04:27.540
Now if I activate the Cube again,

00:04:28.528 --> 00:04:30.296
now it is also moving in X.

00:04:31.856 --> 00:04:33.884
And last we have the Lock,

00:04:34.456 --> 00:04:36.899
which is used to change the visibility of the curve.

00:04:36.900 --> 00:04:39.915
Now, if this is locked,

00:04:39.916 --> 00:04:41.684
I cannot edit the curve anymore.

00:04:43.556 --> 00:04:45.584
This concludes this video.

00:04:46.052 --> 00:04:47.715
Thank you so much for watching

00:04:47.716 --> 00:04:48.600
and see you on the next one.
